on the very weird first ELO album and sax with retro rock & roll pranksters Wizzard which so inspired the irreverent humour and common pop touch of the Wonder Stuff. Appearing from nowhere (well, Wolverhampton actually) in 1987 and with girls' hairstyles, The 'Stuffies dutifully stuck a whoopee cushion beneath the raincoat-covered arse of a glum English indie scene with their 1988 debut Eight Legged Groove Machine--a winning mix of brisk, skiffle-light, laddish pop and quite swaggering impertinence. "Unbearable", for example hammed it up with a sawn-off That Petrol Emotion riff and the almost Churchillian barb of "I didn't like you very much when I met you/but now I like you even less" while "It's Yer Money I'm After, Baby" ("It's not your heart/it's your bank I want to break") was something akin to Ray Davies with behavioural problems. "Astley In The Noose" (one of four b-sides added to this repackaged edition) was a call for the hanging of a certain manly voiced 80s pop star for the crime of singing oldies. Probably a jibe too far, considering the Wonder Stuff went on to have a number one single with a rather hairy-chested version of Tommy Roe's mouldy old "Dizzy". --Kevin Maidment

Advantages: punky, poppy, indie fun Disadvantages: the odd loose cannon, but hardly any
Yeah... it's the 100 alright. And you got was this lousy music op.
To complete the backwards Stuff trilogy (I sometimes forget they had four albums, can't remember half of Construction for the Modern Idiot), I have come to the debut album from the mighty Stuffsters: EightLeggedGrooveMachine. A ranty, poppy, indie, lively and sometimes downright odd confection, this contains the combined strands of what was to come and yet does not always mix them... the progression from this through Hup! to Elvis is quite noticeable. This is a juvenile offering, full of gutsy, bizarre potential, in some ways fighting its corner more dramatically that Hup!, but with less subtle emotional intensity and well-crafted songwriting than Never Loved Elvis.
The split between the softer Stuff elements and the harsh cartoon Britpop is blandly evident in ...
Advantages: AMAZEING GRAFIX FOR THE TIME Disadvantages: SEEM'S A BIT NERDY TO LIKE IT

**Introduction**
The original Trivial Pursuit was created by two friends in Montreal in 1979. They were arguing over who was the best board game player and to try and settle this they devised there own. They hooked up with two others and almost sold there underwear to get the money to finance it. They even sold shares to friends and family. They sold 1100 in Canada before taking it to america were they did even worse. Eventually in 1982 it was an overnight success! In 1984 alone it sold over 20 million games. It is now available in 28 countries in 18 different languages.
Throughout the history of the game they have tried various different variations. There is the original Genus edition, Kids editions, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, 80's, 90's and even a Post War Baby Boom edition. I think they are on the 6th Genus now ...
